LANL counterintelligence officer speaks at Pantex

Dan Cloyd, Senior Counterintelligence Officer at Los Alamos National Laboratory, recently discussed the highly publicized “Russian Illegals” case at a Pantex classified briefing. Cloyd was the executive manager of the Illegals case for the FBI, in which numerous Russian spies lived and worked in the U.S. under assumed names before being arrested in 2010. Cloyd was at that time the assistant director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division.

The Pantex Counterintelligence Department hosted the classified briefing by Cloyd to help reinforce the necessity for all Pantexans to protect sensitive and classified information and to be alert for adversaries who might seek to acquire that information.
